Plastic Welding ABS

[6X6]

Yep, my 252 Colt I bought from George has that setup. The Tranny mounting plates actually made my efforts to lower the tranny quite easy.

They are both ABS, I had the chance to get started on the repairs this weekend after a short run to the store to get more Acetone for further testing. I will have some Pictures of those up soon. After having a chance to Play with ABS goo.. I have decided that cutting the top down to fit the lower I already have is the best option available. The top is in the worse shape of the two and to be honest I won't have much to cut to get started. I think even some of the more experianced guys on this site might wince a little at the amount of Fiberglas under that crappy paint.

I see... some changes coming to this Attex. the right way

Thanks everyone for getting me headed in the right direction.

looking through your photos, your machine is a hybrid of several machines. the frame started life as a 6 chain ST style, and has been converted to 4 chain. in the attached pic, i circled the mount for it's 6 chain rear adjuster. I have an ST and a Wild Wolf and the lower tubs are WAY DIFFERENT! you might want to look for an ST upper body to fit your lower. the point in the front of the body is at a different angle and even going with the "little truck" design, the front angle and width of the bodies will probably cause fitment issues.

I would also like to add that judging by all of the work done in and around the frame that it was not changed by attex, funny, I thought I liked a challenge... LOL

I would guess that what I have is what alot of people are seeing now a days with these, mixed parts sourced from different half dead machines. I am happy that I have one though, it's not like every sucker on my block has one. so at least it's my pile of parts
